Neoliberals literally can’t understand basic social and material facts. You could tell them all day that arresting a thousand grannies will concretely demonstrate the newly passed law is bullshit creating the pressure to fix it. And they’ll respond “well if they named themselves something else they could have protested without being arrested” until their last breath.

Neoliberals literally CAN’T think of the common good because they think there shouldn’t be commons, only individuals, families, and private property. They also don’t think there can be good, only profitable and legal matter, in that order.

Buddy, the average American isn’t any more depraved as anyone else. The US just gives guns to people who shouldn’t have them and then provides them no training nor help with their problems.

LMFAO “the main reason is guns, but I don’t like that so let’s mix the data into other categories to obfuscate the issue so no one else can use it to support gun reform”

Yeah, other countries have access to guns, but they also have a lot more licensing requirements and restrictions. That keeps guns away from idiots, unsafe people, and criminals. That’s the difference, gun reform.

You 2A people have zero reading comprehension because I’ve never seen one of you in a well regulated militia.

Ironically, in statistics, and in the application of statistics to science, a significant result is one that is measurably different from zero. So when a scientist says “no significant effect” they don’t mean “there is an effect, but not a significant one” they mean “there is no measurable effect”.

That STILL doesn’t mean it’s zero, like you said. But it does mean that if the effect was actually zero the data would still be the same. That’s because rabies data is famously unreliable. Often by the time they’re diagnosed, victims are nonverbal. We can get an idea of the species where the stain originated from, but that doesn’t mean that’s the animal that bit the person. If a bat bit a cat who bit a human the test would turn up bat. So was it a undetected bat bite, or a bat infection in a non-bat carrier? We’ll never know because the patient can’t explain anymore. Is it zero, is it a small amount? We don’t know. But what we do know is that if there is a connection between undetected bat bites and rabies in humans, that connection is weak enough to be undetectable using the data we have.

Rabies is a horrible disease, and it’s good they’re being proactive about warning anyone of potential exposure. Luckily for the visitors, the rabies-bat connection, especially without a detectable bite is starting to be proven to be extremely unlikely to cause rabies infections in humans.

Researchers meeting at the 29th Annual North American Symposium on Bat Research, on October 30, 1999, passed a resolution stating that they “find no credible support for the hypothesis that undetected bites by bats are a significant factor in transmitting rabies to humans.”

“If we try to make the world a better place, the conservatives will use that as a pretext to do what they’re already doing”

There was an onion article about almost exactly that lol. https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

They’re already saying our plan to tackle climate change is going to hurt the economy. But we know that doing nothing will hurt the economy worse. Being scared of them saying what they’re already saying is weak and cowardly. Toughen up and do the right thing.

This convinced me to get OSM thank you

Even in the West with progressive gender roles and access to birth control, 37% of children are unintended. You’re really going to sit here and ask “why did this woman sit down and decide to intentionally try for a baby during the war?” As if you can’t think of any other possibilities?

Should we really stop caring for children if they’re not planned? Should we judge people for accidentally or intentionally having a baby in a situation we have never experienced? Maybe everyone should ask you before having sex so that you can bestow your wisdom on them. Then finally everyone can have your mature, complete understanding of human reproduction. That way they can all make the same great choices you do!

Weak sauce.

I love this! Good on you, hope to see you on the streets!

“All the impotent left do is protest” he says while admitting to feeling too impotent to even protest.

Sounds like you need to work up to at least “protesting in the face of overwhelming opposition” before you chastise the protestors for not doing even more in the face of overwhelming opposition.

I think you wildly overestimate Iran’s ability to target. These missiles aren’t “kill nuclear scientists in their apartment” they’re “aim at a city and hope it lands”

Iran has ballistic missiles, which is an achievement, but aiming a rocket going at that speed with any accuracy is a monumental (read: expensive) engineering challenge.

They heard the building was powered by Iranian nuclear power so it’s an “Iranian nuclear site”. You have to think in Zionist ways to understand Zionism!

Don’t worry about that. Pretty soon Israel will have killed all the journalists willing to go into Gaza so it won’t be broadcast for long!

This whole article reads like https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

They’re going to use ANY excuse to do this. They’re literally advertising that they’re going to use instigators to make sure they get the videos they need to do what they’re going to do anyways

These things aren’t won with peaceful protesting alone. We need both mass peaceful action and targeted violence.

They’re going to suppress us as if we did both anyways, might as well make progress.

I’ve got a nonsense idea with no sources do you have sources to contradict it?

Start with sources that back-up the nonsense you just made up. Because there is just no possible way that extracting 1 EV’s worth of lithium is equivalent pollution to the expected 200-400 thousand miles of ICE driving it offsets.

The irony is almost too much coming from a .ml account…

Which is exactly why Europe needs to ditch American companies. The fact they’re bound to obey such a corrupt president means Europeans, especially governments using Microsoft is a direct liability to all of Europe.

Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ

None of those. I don’t disagree that they USED TO BE the best electric cars.

But that’s in the past. There are very few markets where Tesla has the most market share anymore in 2025. It’s not just because of protests, they’re just not that great compared to the competition anymore. The trend has been worsening for years and Tesla hasn’t brought anything new to counter it.

Inferior car? Tesla has some of the weakest reliability metrics in the industry which is shocking considering electric drivetrains are far more reliable than ICE.

Modern electric car manufacturing has far surpassed what Tesla can provide at any price point (range, reliability, comfort, you name it) unless you still believe FSD is coming in “just 2 more years bro, and it’ll be free and backwards compatible”
